rmitted to enter New Zealand as University students, and was actively

Note 9. (Letter No. 33)
Born in 1900, Miss Kitty Carpenter became a Baha'i in 1936 since when many
members of the Carpenter-Hancock family of which she is a member have
followed her and joined the Faith. An adventurous and enquiring soul, she
undertook her first pilgrimage to Haifa in 1938, arriving there shortly
after the marriage of Shoghi Effendi and, after living for two years in
Australia, she returned to New Zealand where she embarked on a life of
service to the Cause. Towards the end of the Second World War, she
willingly made available her premises (a counter lunch-shop) in Anzac
Avenue as a venue for the Auckland Baha'i community and, in the 1950's,
responded to the call by travel teaching in Mangakino and Whangarei. She
served on the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of New Zealand
during 1958 and, two years later, moved from Christchurch to Hamilton to
aid in establishing an assembly there. 1964 saw her travel teaching in
Invercargill and the following year she was appointed to the National
Teaching Committee. Responding to the need for the believers to establish
another assembly, Kitty finally made her home in Tauranga where she is an
active and much loved exponent of the Cause.
